I have a strong and perfect plea
A great High Priest whose name is love
Who ever lives and pleads for me
My name is graven on His hands
My name is written on His heart
I know that while in heaven He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart
No tongue can bid me thence depart
When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within
Upward I look and see Him there
Who made an end of all my sin
Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free
For God, the Just, is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me
To look on Him and pardon me
Behold Him there! The risen Lamb
My perfect, spotless, Righteousness
The Great unchangeable I AM
The King of Glory and of Grace
One with Himself I cannot die
My soul is purchased by His blood
My life is hid with Christ on high
With Christ my Savior and my God
With Christ my Savior and my God
This morning in Church the worship leader started talking about this hymn and how the words were so powerful and true, I just had to share them with you, my few readers. I couldn't stop smiling as I belted out the words to this comforting hymn. I started imagining the throne of God and how one day I will be before him in all his glory and majesty. I was just so in awe of the one who came to die for me. All the times I fail (and trust me it's a lot!) I know that Christ is up there interceding on my behalf. I am so incredibly blessed in the knowledge of my savior.
